Just received a sales alert for Zev0s GU for G9, yet where is it, did it sell out already? :P 

It's not in his store yet, I think Daz may have jumped the gun! But thanks for the alert DAZ, I'll snag it as soon as it's available!

    It's there and I got a banner, but it's not taking the extra off, so I won't be buying it tonight. I'll sleep on it.

    Same here, orange banner but no 15% off ...

    That's weird, as I received the discount, I wonder why it's not being applied to everyone?

    I'm playing around with it now, and it looks like the Growing Up morph largely overrides the masculine and feminine body sliders, and the GU breast morphs just move the breasts side to side. Seems pretty half-baked to me, and hopefully it gets a quick update.

    If your orange banner is like mine, it says:

    "Don't miss Zev0's latest New Release! Because you're already a Zev0 fan, enjoy an EXTRA 15% OFF* Select Zev0 Items when you buy Growing Up for Genesis 9." 

    so that it is 15% off the things in the Shop category rather than 15% off Growing Up for Genesis 9

    I can confirm that I have the same issue, I mean sure, worse comes to worst I'll just Zbrush the issue away, but there should be no need; I'm hoping that it's not a DAZ mandate, which would entirely defeat the product's purpose! To be clear, I'm not saying it is or isn't a DAZ mandate, just hoping it's not.

    EDIT: My issue is that two breast morphs stay enabled when they should be turned off when the youth morph is applied, the GU_body_cbs_Breast_Gone_Null, and the GU_body_cbs_Breast_Small_Null.

     Agreed on the issue, and that there should be no need to fix things ourselves (unless we're attempting to do anything out of scope of the original product). Any self-made chest fix will require extensive JCMs for shoulder movement and spine 3 (lower chest) and spine 2 (upper abdomen) bending.

    To be clear, my issue is that the breast morphs remain enabled instead of automatically turning off so the GU_body_cbs_Breast_Gone_Null and the GU_body_cbs_Breast_Small_Null specifically.

    I will edit my earlier post…

    Zev0's post in their commercial thread suggests that they don't understand that we don't have access to the basic morph packages yet, and Daz didn't see fit to release those morphs on or before the release date of Growing Up.

    That is the same banner I have. And I am not happy with it at all. Own > 100 of Zev0's products. I do not need to get a discount on old stuff but would really appreciate a discount easing the investment in Gen9 a little as my library already holds GU for Genesis, GU for G2F/G2M, GU for G3F/G3M and GU for G8F/G8M plus addons. Jez, I probably need to grow up myself and save some money.

    It's not really that - Studio is activating assistive/cbs (the new JCM) morphs for morphs that don't exist - the default behaviour should be the opposite.

    I feel a bit grumpy about this as well. I have all I need from past products. Loyalty doesn't cut much ice, it seems.

    Instant buy...something I've bought with each generation.

    Thanks ZevO for the quick update! My deception is gone!

    But my young G8 characters will keep living.

    Probably in the body morphs that we don't HAVE yet. Why they rolled it out like this is way beyond me. What a cluster.... angry

    As the PA's have had access to G9/V9 and the morph packs for some time before the release, there is a surprising amount of problems surfacing at this late stage, were there no nerds amongst the ones that had access to them before release?

    Once upon a time when I was in a small, invitation only beta group for a hardware/software manufacturer... Everything went well and we found issues they hadn't found in house, sometimes we even found the culprits, but it all went to that dark place when they started letting people in that had no understanding of hardware or software in general, never mind being able to troubleshoot anything and the inbox started filling with messages that had nothing to do with the hardware or software that was being tested - That was when I got out.

    Yeah, the solution is easy enough, just toggle the morphs, but it's not a full solution, as far as DAZ holding back the body morphs is frustrating indeed!

    And whose idea was it to NOT release the morph packs along with a new figure?!

    Hopefully, it will come out either later today or Monday!

    EDIT: Thanks go to Zev0 for fixing this issue!

    Yes, I think Zev0 went above and beyond on this one. Daz owes him for the aggravation ;)

    Yep, that's why we're so addicted to his products and as a PA, we're lucky to have him here!

    I wasn't able to pick up some of his more recent scripts, so that 15% off was nice and I got 3 of them I had wishlisted for 64% off. I read his thread before I bought about the breast issue and saw the were moving on it right away, so bought it. When I tried it out, it seemed to make an interesting trans teen. I can wait for the fix. There is very little right now to do with the G9 characters since there are not many generic poses that aren't feminine or sexified. Or in the case of the Toons, taken to the extremes.
